Thomasena (Toni) Somerville Ebron, needs a lifesaving lung transplant. In October 2015, Toni was diagnosed with a rare end-stage interstitial lung disease and her breathing rapidly deteriorated within about five months. A lung transplant will give her hope to have more years to spend time enjoying her two grandchildren, other family members and a host of supportive friends.
Toni, as she is affectionately called, is the wife of Willie and mother of Wilton and Wynnaea. She attended Philadelphia High School for Girls (Class 214), John Dickinson College, and The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. Following her retirement from IBM after 33 years, she supported a family business, served as secondary caregiver for her mother during the last year of her life, and helped care for her granddaughter for two years. Toni has been a member of St. Matthew’s Baptist Church in Williamstown, NJ for 23 years and serves in leadership roles for the Deaconess, Women’s Retreat and Sunday School ministries.
Transplants are lifesaving but financially overwhelming. Even with insurance, the out-of-pocket costs for a transplant are very expensive. These costs include high co-pays, coinsurance, doctor visits, lab tests and numerous anti-rejection medications she will have to take for the rest of her life. Two recently prescribed medications cost over $1,000 per month and many more medicines will be added after transplant. In addition to praying for Toni, many family and friends have asked how they can help Toni financially.
To help offset these expenses, a fundraising campaign in Toni’s honor has been established with Help Hope Live. To make a tax-deductible donation, click on the Donate Now button.
Thank you for your prayers, generosity and support.
Warmest Regards,
Dana Covert, Family Friend
On April 15th, Toni received a double lung transplant and is recovering well. She has been sitting up in a chair the last two days and she even went for a short walk outside of her room today. Please pray that she has a full recovery, no rejection of the lungs and no major side effects. She is grateful for all of the prayers, love, support, gifts and donations that she has received.
May you continue to heal as God blesses you. You remain in our thoughts and prayers.
